LOL Yeah I was thinking the same thing when it was happening. Though she's never once gone low, there's always a chance of it, and he was only wearing his Carhardts, not suit pants! I **think** he had a cup on, though. LOL!

I'm not trying to start any debates etc, but I noticed a food reward, so I'm wondering what methods you used with her? She seems to be responding well!

I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day, tomorrow doesn't look good either.

I have used a TON of food with her. I like to work her as motivationally as possible. She was originally started (as a pup) with clicker training. She isn't big on tugging with me (in fact she JUST started playing tug with me about a month or so ago), so at points where with other dogs you would see a tug reward, I use a food reward. And she has NO ball drive at all. She looks at you like "Well you threw it, you get it. Idiot." She also gets reward bites as well.

She does wear a prong, but I use it as little as possible. I also won't use an e-collar with her.

So cookie pushing it is!!

LOL Yeah we didn't get video of it, but when Chad was decoying (it's Mike in this video), he started yelling at her while she was on the bite. And if you yell at her, she WILL yell back at you . . . mouth full of suit or not. It was hysterical. !

She IS a charmer

Thanks! But she's only 66 pounds (and that's at "fat bitch" weight). She is definitely a teeny tiny dog . . . at least to me. Hell, after having Wally (who was 30-31 inches tall) EVERYTHING Is tiny!! Plus her mom is around 75 and her dad is 90 . . . she's an itty bitty. I swear it! LOL!

I think thats awesome you use a food reward Really great that you didn't try to "cookie cut" her and make her go for something more traditional.
